Datafile Editing
It looks like I have to edit the *.fst files.
Is there documentation for these files in GCA5?

Re: Datafile Editing
FST files are Fast Load Files which are dynamically generated by GCA every time you load a new Library or any time a data file in the Library is changed. You don't ever want to touch those.
The files that you can edit are the Data Files which have a .gdf extension. In general you also don't want to edit the files which come as part of the program, because those will be updated or restored by GCA. What you want to do is make your own Data File and load it as part of the Library to make the changes you are looking for. The two best references for the Data Files are to look at the existing Data Files just to see how it's done and the GCA5 Reference Documentation.
